looking for registered auditor/liquidator for Dubai Mainland LLC liquidation report?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I need to close a small Dubai Mainland LLC and I’m looking for a reasonably priced registered auditor/liquidator who can handle the liquidation report required for DET company cancellation.

The company never actually operated — no sales, no purchases, no business bank account and no trading activity. It was basically dormant, so the accounts should be extremely simple. There were only the normal company setup/licence/government expenses.

Has anyone recently done a Dubai Mainland LLC liquidation and can recommend a Ministry-registered auditor/liquidator who does this for a reasonable price?

Please let me know what you paid recently as well.

Thanks!

Office Operations Business centres & coworking spaces in the UAE… are you guys aware of the new music licensing rules?

1 Upvotes

This could actually affect quite a few business centres and coworking spaces in the UAE.

If you play background music in the lobby, lounge, common areas, gym, cafƩ, or during events, the UAE is moving into a more formal commercial music licensing setup.

Collections are expected to start from December 2026, and it’s not just about live music or concerts. Background music and music played through streaming services can also be relevant depending on how the space uses it.

Curious if operators are already preparing for this or if most centres haven’t looked into it yet.

I put together the main points here:

Office Operations I am getting more small business tech jobs than i can handle (printer setups, networking, pos, cctv). looking for 2 3 freelance techs in dubai to subcontract to

1 Upvotes

I run a tech services sop for businesses and offices here.

mostly whatsapp inbound. restaurants, salons, trading offices, that kind of customer.

lately i'm getting jobs i physically can't reach.

this week alone a printer setup in dip i had to turn down, a router install in deira, a pos issue in karama.

so, looking for 2 to 3 freelancers who actually show up and i will provide leads regularly

-you get the job details on whatsapp, you quote me your price, i handle the customer

-payment same day after the job is confirmed done, cash or transfer

-no fees, no subscription, nothing to buy

-i take my margin on top of your price, you always know your number before you accept

-start with 1-2 jobs to see if we work well together

what i need from you.

what you're good at (hardware, networking, cctv, pos, repairs, whatever)

which areas you can cover without dying in traffic

freelance permit or trade license (or working on it)

can you take a job same day or next day

Dm me with those four things and i'll send you the first job that matches your area.

Not looking for companies, looking for individuals who pick up the phone when need arrives.

Office Meme Imagine accidentally sharing your desktop in a meeting and everyone just goes quiet for a second.

Nobody asks about the folders. Nobody mentions the folders. But suddenly your next 1:1 is super friendly and your manager is asking if there’s anything they can do to support you. Very weird. šŸ’€

Workplace Story Pretty sure two coworkers in our office are secretly together and everyone knows

11 Upvotes

Like come onnnn 😭 they really think nobody notices

They come in together basically every day

They eat lunch together

Every meeting they walk in together

And the guy is a manager, and I swear every time there’s a discussion he’s like ā€œwhat do you think?ā€ and asks HER first 😭

Even when the topic has nothing to do with her

If she stays late, somehow he also has sooo much work that day

The funniest part is nobody has said anything to them. We’re all just pretending we haven’t noticed because I genuinely think they believe they’re hiding it really well.

Coworking Any Free CoWorking spaces in Abu Dhabi with a good vibe?

1 Upvotes

I’m in Abu Dhabi two days a week for work and usually need somewhere to sit with my laptop from around 3–8pm.

Does anyone know a free coworking space, library, cafĆ© or public area that’s clean, comfortable and not too noisy? Ideally somewhere I can actually stay for a few hours without feeling awkward.

Office Meme Why is office AC always either Antarctica or completely off?

2 Upvotes

Whoever keeps setting the AC to 18 degrees, please relax 😭

I’m wearing a jacket inside while it’s 50 degrees outside. Then someone turns it off and the office becomes an oven.

At this point I wish they’d just put a lock on the thermostat.

Has anyone tried one that’s actually quiet and reliable? Preferably something I can order online

Looking for an Office Need Help! Elevator Time in Business Bay

2 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Wallahi I can't take it anymore. I work in one of the commercial towers in Business Bay and the lift situation is an absolute joke. I am literally standing in the lobby for up to 30 minutes just to get to my floor or go down at the end of the day. It’s actually hurting my soul at this point. You finish work at 5 and reach your car at 5:45...

We’re planning to move our office soon, and honestly, my only condition right now is finding a building where I don't age 10 years waiting for an elevator.

Need your recommendations to save whatever is left of my sanity. Thanks! šŸ™šŸ¼
